It is a separate vehicle. Toyota built the Majesta on a wider variant of the Crown platform with distinct body panels, a unique interior, and equipment that was either unavailable or not offered at any price on the Crown Royal Saloon. The JZS177 is the S170-generation Majesta, produced from 1999 to 2004, powered by the 2JZ-FSE direct injection 3.0L inline-six producing 217 HP at 5,600 rpm and 217 lb-ft at 3,600 rpm. The Type A is the entry specification in the Majesta lineup. It still comes standard with features that defined the Majesta ownership experience above the Crown: head-up display projecting speed information onto the windshield, audio controls on the steering wheel, air swing vents, and cruise control. The original head unit is in perfect condition with no fading or cracking, which is uncommon on cars of this age. Silver exterior. Grey wool interior. Work XS1 wheels with Bridgestone tires. 40,540 miles (65,207 km). Mileage: 40,540 miles (65,207 km). Interesting Facts The Crown Majesta was never positioned as a trim level of the Crown. From its introduction in 1991, Toyota gave it a separate model code, wider dimensions, distinct exterior and interior design, and a higher price point. The relationship between the Majesta and the Crown is closer to the relationship between the Lexus LS and the Lexus GS than to a standard trim hierarchy within a single nameplate. The 2JZ-FSE in the JZS177 uses Toyota’s D-4 direct injection system with a compression ratio of 11.3:1, significantly higher than the port-injected 2JZ-GE. The high compression ratio contributes to thermal efficiency but requires premium fuel and makes the engine sensitive to carbon buildup on the intake valves over time, since direct injection does not wash the valves the way port injection does. Work Wheels was founded in Japan in 1977 and became associated with Japanese motorsport and the JDM tuning scene through the 1990s and 2000s. The XS1 is a multi-spoke design that appeared on platforms like the Crown, Mark II, Chaser, and Aristo during this era, representing the understated performance aesthetic that defined JDM sedan culture of the period. The S170 Crown Majesta introduced a fully pillarless hardtop body structure, eliminating the B-pillar between the front and rear doors. This design gave the car a more open, flowing appearance when all windows were lowered and was a signature feature of Japanese flagship sedans from this era that was never adopted in European or American luxury cars of the same period. About Us We’ve been working with Japanese vehicles for over 25 years. Long before opening our location in the United States, our team was importing and servicing these vehicles in Europe when many of them were still new. Because of that experience, we know these platforms extremely well. Every model has its own weak points, and we inspect and address them before the vehicle is offered for sale. All vehicles are serviced at our facility in Japan before shipping. Fluids, belts, filters, batteries, and common failure points are inspected and replaced when necessary. Unlike many dealerships, we actually drive our vehicles. They don’t sit in a parking lot. Our trucks and cars are used regularly so we can verify reliability before they reach their new owner. When you buy from us, you’re getting a vehicle that is fully prepared and ready to drive from day one. JP-TRADE is our first location in the United States, supported by a team of more than 40 people across Europe, Japan, Korea, China, and the U.S. If you made it this far, here is a little bonus for you. Why did Toyota build the Majesta as a separate car instead of just adding more equipment to the Crown? By the late 1980s, Toyota understood that their Crown buyers had stratified into two distinct groups. One group wanted the Crown’s established status and reliability in a form that had not changed much. The other group wanted something that signaled they had moved beyond the standard Crown entirely. Adding more options to the Royal Saloon would have served the first group. It would not have served the second. The Majesta was the answer for the second group a wider car, a distinct body, and equipment that could not be ordered into a Crown at any price. Toyota sold them alongside each other for decades, letting buyers self-select between them. The buyers who chose the Majesta knew exactly what they were communicating.
